Mathematics – Graduate Diploma in Arts

The Graduate Diploma in Arts (Mathematics) is a bridging tool for graduates in other subjects to get the equivalent of a major in mathematics.

Open up a world of opportunities

Massey’s Graduate Diploma in Arts (Mathematics) opens up a world of opportunities. Maths is a product of human ingenuity that allows our modern world to exist. That may be securing sensitive communications using cryptography. Or it may be calculating the geostationary orbit of a satellite. With a Graduate Diploma in Arts (Mathematics) you’ll learn analytic and numerical methods for problem-solving. These can be applied in a range of contexts and industries.

Get the skills you’ll need

Your mathematics qualification will help you develop a wide variety of skills and techniques. You’ll learn to formulate, solve, restate and resolve problems, and interpret results. You’ll also build your knowledge of computational and simulation techniques. You’ll learn to communicate and explain concepts effectively with non-mathematical colleagues.

Learn from the leaders

Studying maths at Massey will give you access to some of the world’s top mathematical minds. Massey lecturers and postgraduate students are researching areas such as:

• the modelling of geothermal processes
• epidemiology
• celestial mechanics
• neuroscience
• industrial mathematics
• number theory
• geometry, and
• analysis.

These projects show the versatility and variety of problems offered to mathematically-skilled scientists. Your maths qualification will help you build up the skills and techniques you’ll need to be part of projects like these.

Further study

Once you have completed your Graduate Diploma in Arts (Mathematics), you can then apply for a postgraduate qualification in maths if you wish.
